Millionaires Shortbread; Easter Edition


Now, these Easter Millionaires Shortbread might not win any Beauty Pageants; but in terms of taste, these fellas have scrumptious-ness signed, sealed and delivered straight to a kitchen near you.  

Just some of the words which sprang to mind whilst eating them; oozy, chewy, DELICIOUS.

Convinced? Fantastic, let's continue...

My Week in Products


You know some weeks you just have a really good face week? Like you'll catch sight of yourself in a window and be like; "Dayum, this blush is really working it on my cheeks,"? 

Well, this was my face last week, and it's all thanks to my Sunday ritual. One of my favourite things to do on a Sunday (after eating my body weight in chocolate digestives obvs,) is to reorganise my make-up bag. I switch up the products from my storage so that all of my blushes, foundations, bronzers etc are getting circulated and so I can get a good idea of what products are potential faves, and what's worth a repurchase.

Recipe Review! Janes Patisserie's Oreo Chocolate Truffles



When I first saw the pictures of Janes Patisserie's Oreo Chocolate Truffles, truth be told I kinda drooled a little bit.

Oreo cookies are my absolutely favourite type of biscuit (aside from bourbons, and custard creams, and hob nobs, and....you get the idea.) Ever since discovering them on a family trip to the US back in '98, where my brother, sister and I would dunk these little fellas into tumblers of milk - I've been hooked, so incorporating them into chocolate truffles? I was fully on board.

Skin Food


When it comes to products, my all time favourite to purchase is always moisturisers - they're just so darn good!! 

I love the feeling after a long day of wearing a face, you shove your hair out the way, take your make-up off and give your face a good feed with thick, nourishing blobs of moisturiser which you can just massage into your face at your heart’s content, and give it that hearty drink it's been craving for hours.

Fluffy Vanilla Cheesecake


If you’re like me, sometimes you’re just in the mood for a really good cheesecake, am I right?

This particular craving had come after indulging in a small slice of the good stuff at a friend’s birthday – one bite was all it took to reawaken my taste buds to remember just how much I was in love with the sweetly smooth concoction which holds that delicious crunch, heavenly!

How to Put a Pimple in its Place (i.e off your face)


Okay, so the rhyming was totally by accident, but I have to admit I’m a little proud. But not as proud as I am for discovering a way of saying sayonara to those little zits which have a habit of popping up just when you don’t want them.

The Cake and Bake Show Competition 2015


The thing I love about baking is, it unleashes your inner creative; whether it’s improvising with a rogue ingredient or trying out a new shapely baking tin – the world is your uncooked batter bowl.
